    Wow, I thought Ghee is not good for your health.

      Probably because of the saturated fat content, the same arguments pushed people to switching to margarine, which is awful for you. I don't subscribe to the view of saturated fat being bad, that view has been based on shitty epidemiological studies which don't show cause.

        Nonsense. Hi Carb meals what we have been programmed to eat for the last 80 years are the killer. Cancer, diabetes etc

        Also, this is the best ghee your going to get in Australia because its organic.

            @Kessler: WOW!! You might want to tell these guys and the American Diabetes Association about your findings then. They've recently endorsed carb restriction as a good dietary program to treat diabetes.

            https://www.lchf-rd.com/2018/12/18/low-carb-diet-in-2019-ame…

            And really? How in the hell is it possible to have glucose control issues (diabetes) if you aren't eating glucose or glucose metabolising foods (carbs)? Yes yes gluconeogenesis, but that barely produces a meaningful supply compared to eating carbs.

            • @ChickenTalon: Just from reading that, they say it may help. I see that it's worth trying as it could help, but this is not black and white from the link you sent.

              “low-carbohydrate eating plans may result in improved glycemia (blood sugar) and have the potential to reduce anti-hyperglycemic medications (medications to lower blood sugar) for individuals with type 2 diabetes.”

              It also points out how unreasonable it is to continue a no/low carb diet long term is:
              “As research studies on some low-carbohydrate eating plans generally indicate challenges with long-term sustainability, it is important to reassess and individualize meal plan guidance regularly for those interested in this approach.”

              “more data are needed to identify and validate those meal plans that are optimal with respect to long-term outcomes as well as patient acceptability.”

              Other Points of Interest
              “It is interesting that the Lifestyle Management Standards of Care indicated that the literature concerning Glycemic Index (GI) and Glycemic Load (GL) in individuals with Diabetes often yields conflicting results and that “studies longer than 12 weeks report no significant influence of glycemic index or glycemic load independent of weight loss on A1C”.

            @Kessler: As a T1 diabetic and actually having a clue, that is the stupidest thing I have ever read. You should be ashamed of your ignorance.

            • -2

              @Dontreadthis: This amount of backlash and ridicule is unwarranted.

              I think the post serves a point to counter the anti-carb propaganda you can see posted here which could potentially damage people's health.

              I believe carbohydrates are integral to good health. Assuming that, how are those with diabetes ever going to get healthier? This is where some counter intuitive approaches start making more sense. But potentially just increasing carbohydrate without some other sort of diet rectification or therapy would be disastrous. Diabetes sufferers have wandered themselves into a difficult position (I refuse to blame genetics just because a few Genes have been linked to a higher risk. People with the mutations also dont get diabetes)

            @Kessler: As a T2 diabetic, i concur with Dontreadthis, i've experimented with Keto under 20g and my blood sugar has stabalised between 4.5-5.2 and i lost 11kg in a month. You dont know crap, i'd put you in the anti-vaxer and toilet paper against the wall camp.

            • @Aarent: Wow! Your diet must have been terrible before keto diet. 11kg in a month is insane! How will you manage blood sugar levels after the keto diet?

              • +1

                @onlinepred: Lots of people experience crazy losses in the first month of keto. Some of it is fat reserves, but much of it is water. The losses tend to plateau for a lot of people, as some of the water weight comes back on. It’s one of the reasons you have to be mindful to keep up your electrolyte intake when you start keto or you can end up with some dehydration symptoms.

                • @simulacrum: Right that explains it. My mum used to be a renal nurse, and she used to administer the keto diet for patients before specific surgeries, she thinks it's crazy people are doing it haha. She said she still remembers the terrible breath. Back then doctors said not to continue the diet past the set amount.

                  • +1

                    @onlinepred: yeah elevated levels of acetone (aka nailpolish remover) in your blood do not make for good breath. Health wise it is great for a lot of different things even if you only do it prophylactically for a couple of months every year. Resetting your insulin sensitivity alone is a pretty good benefit. Same with intermittent fasting. They're popuularised because of the weight loss benefits but there are many other good reasons to get onto it.

                    • @simulacrum: From what I've read, most of the benefits from the tests are for obese people. If you are healthy and of healthy weight, everything is working as it should and no need to try and reset anything or fast. My parents go on fad diets all the time, they are great for people who aren't healthy, or unable to maintain a healthy diet, or have other medical conditions that require of benefit from fasting. I'm no expert at all, majority of my family are in the health field and deal with people going on fad diets etc so we talk about it a lot. In the end, it's whatever works for you and your mind. Recommending people do things like fasting etc isn't a place for someone who isn't qualified, there is a LONG list of basic things to do before trying things like fasting, and from what I've heard, fasting isn't good at all for people with diabetes right?

                      • +1

                        @onlinepred: I probably wouldn't ant to make any recommendations for anyone with a chronic condition like diabetes… other than to make sure they seek medical advice and only try radical dietary changes under strict medical supervision. Intermittent fasting protocols are easy and safe for healthy people depending on how its done (my protocol is to fast from 8pm til noon - which essentially means I just skip breakfast). As long as you stay hydrated you can fast quite safely for significant stretches (billions of practicing muslims do it for a whole month every year).

                        Both keto and certain types of intermittent caloric restriction have benefits for healthy people.. I'd need a bit more time to summarise the research. Will try to update this post later.

                      • @onlinepred:

                        and from what I've heard, fasting isn't good at all for people with diabetes right?

                        Fasting is great for diabetics. While I'm loathed to link to Harvard, with their vegan pushing agenda, this is a good summary.

                        • @ChickenTalon: Did you read the papers? Unless you are obese (of which reducing intake in a day will obviously reduce body fat lol), they all focus on reducing caloric intake via fasting. That's it. I mean if you are obese (which most of those studies were based on), obviously skipping meals will reduce your caloric intake and reduce body weight.

                          • @onlinepred:

                            Did you read the papers?

                            yes

                            here is the relevant one in nonobese subjects https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/81/1/69/4607679

                            • @ChickenTalon: And it claims no real benefits beside fat loss. That's my point mate, you have to have negative approach studies too, this is just one TINY aspect of a fad diet approach. You need to look at any affects, positive or negative. This paper does not look at all possible side affects, only fat loss or diets. The paper says it's looking at it's feasibility as a fat loss diet, not a health positive diet. Anyway, all good, I have had many talks with researchers, dietitians, doctors etc about fad diets, and in general it's a lack of knowledge or misunderstanding of how research papers work that drives them forward. If it works for you, and your blood test results show a positive change then you should consider writing a paper, otherwise there is no real proof besides weight loss which is obvious. Either way, I'm not into passing around random articles that have a keyword in it trying to back up an discussion, it just proves lack of real research.

                              • @onlinepred: Well, you've made the claim that you'd heard fasting isn't great for diabetes. You're not going to find a wealth of studies out there on it, but it has been tested and it's certainly safe. I can't disagree that the benefits might come about through fat loss, but that's still a benefit in itself.

                                If you've the time, here is a good interview from an MD treating diabetic, yes generally obese, patients with fasting.

                                • @ChickenTalon: Yes, in general, reducing your caloric intake will benefit your health, mostly if you eat too many colories in a day or you are obese. This has been known for a very long time and is the basics of eating healthy. If you are unable to do this, then yes fasting would help you. Long term health effects will vary and may require regular check ups/blood tests, like any diet. The problem with fasting, is you aren't solving the root problem, it's a band aid, especially if you rely on it to be healthy. BUT what we do know, is that some people find they do not even want breakfast as an example, this is a different use case.

              • +2

                @onlinepred: Yeah, my diet wasnt the best. When your on Keto, you learn a lot about how your body works and its really interesting. You start to passively count carbs of everything(may sound restrictive/oppressive, but in actuality, its a good thing), you become super sensitised to sugar. My blood sugar as a T2 have been good even when not on the diet. But yeah, you eventually learn what you should and shouldn't eat/portions.

                • @Aarent: So much good information in this thread, very impressive.

                  The idea that "keeping carbs low so as to not need much insulin is dumb", while "eat all the carbs and then have a guess at how much insulin you need to chase it with is smart" hasn't really been well thought through, given T2D is a disease of excess insulin (until the pancreas wears out).

                  • @mickeyjuiceman: T2 comes in a few forms i'm pretty sure, i think the most common is insulin resistance, not so much the over production of insulin. Its when it takes more effort for insulin to unlock the muscle wall for you to use energy in the blood. Low Carbs for T1 is not really recommended from what i know, especially the Keto diet, you would definitely need to speak with your doctor as the biggest issue for T1 on Keto is ketoacidosis.

                    More of that here;

                • @Aarent: Yea portion control and basic dietary information is key. I can't imagine the next step required to manage insulin. I managed to lose 23kg over 12 months by just reducing portions, still eating what I like (I still eat healthy) - I don't have diabetes though but my insulin levels are immediately felt through a heart condition I have. My blood pressure, gut biome, energy levels, fat levels are the best they have ever been! I don't eat sugar anymore really, I don't go out to avoid it. Loads of fruit and LOADS of veggies with skin on. All portion controlled.
